Just thought someone may be able to help here.

Im starting up a business on the side, and I need a website for it. I can do all the techy bits and hosting etc etc but i have no design skills whatsover.

I tried frontpage but it just looks plain sh*t. Anyone know of any similar software that will do the same but produce a better result (html only no asp)

Cheers

Stuey

dreamweaver is the one to go for. you can get a 30 day trial download from www.macromedia.com - comes with tutorials built in too. you can often find it on magazine cover cd's also if you've only got a dialup connection.

totally agree with the above. I used Dreamweaver (alonside notepad) to write our website templates. IMHO nothing comes close to it.

Its fairly easy to learn and well worth splashing out on (its only a few hundred squid)

Dreamweaver? Pah! Poofters!

Visual Studio .net is the real mans tool!



If you can't code in notepad then you shouldn't be coding at all!

lol, although vi and emacs were designed for programming lanuages, it would be interesting to create html with it too. When messing with html, I normally use Kedit or Kate.

Anyway, back to the topic, dreamweaver is the way to go. If you are unfortunatly nailed to the floor by rusty nails that is microsoft, you could always give frontpage a try.

**edited to say, the only reason I would ever switch on a windows system is to use either dreamweaver or photoshop. That must say somthing about how valuable it is when I am a unix geek**
